Chris “Big Duke” Malloy is an American Producer/Drum Programmer from Cleveland, Ohio and has been working professionally in the music industry since 2007. During Duke’s time at the University of Akron, he began achieving recognition through promoting his childhood friend’s “Chip Tha Ripper & Al Fatz’s” music and devising unique marketing strategies to catch the eyes of music industry executives and the ears of fans throughout the country. In 2007, Big Duke began exploring his passion in music production and worked day and night to master the technique of creating sounds that evoke raw emotion. Influenced by the sounds of Anita Baker, Tony Toni Tone, Master P, and Too Short, Big Duke has developed a unique sound substantiated with soulful southern hip-hop sounds and harmonized with the organic rhythms and melodies of R&B. Duke relocated to Los Angeles in 2012 to pursue music production and has since worked and collaborated with many artists and producers including The Game, Byrson Tiller, Symba, 21 Savage, and many more.
